Cucumber Salad
 
Ingredients: 1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup white sugar
4 teaspoons distilled white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/2 teaspoon salt (not optional)
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon celery seed

4 medium cucumbers, peeled and sliced
1/2 onion, sliced (optional)
 
Directions In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, dill, salt, mustard, and celery seed. Mix in the cucumber slices and onions (if used), tossing to coat. The salad will seem a little dry at first, but the salt will draw moisture out of the cucumber within 20-30 minutes to correct the consistency and soften the cucumber.
